Christmas season calls for new play dough activities!
Playing with play dough is an excellent opportunity to work through the range of hand and finger movements that are vital for children’s fine motor skill development. All that kneading, rolling and squishing build hand, wrist and finger strength.
As they play, children also have the opportunity to develop their language skills: talking about what they are making and narrating their imaginary play.
Add some of these play dough recipes, printables and activities to your play this Christmas:
